    The binuclear iron complex containing 1,3,7-triazacyclononane and acetate bridges as ligands was found to catalyze effective oxidation of alkanes by hydrogen peroxide in acetonitrile at room temperature in the presence of pyrazine-2-carboxylic acid (P) as a cocatalyst. The primary reaction products were alkylhydroperoxides, which gradually decomposed to produce the corresponding ketones (aldehydes) and alcohols. Alkane activation was caused by the attack of hydroxyl radicals on a C-H alkane bond, which resulted in the formation of alkyl radicals. Hydroxyl radicals were generated in the rate-determining step of monomolecular decomposition of the iron diperoxo adduct with one P molecule. A kinetic model of the process that satisfactorily described the whole set of experimental data was suggested. The constants of supposed equilibria and the rate constant for the decomposition of the diperoxo complex of iron with P were estimated.
